You are to be congratulated! Many aquarists are now 'fragging' corals (and this is certainly to be applauded) but you belong to a still small club who breed marine fish. The numbers are increasing though, as are the species of fish that are being bred. Hello Scott.

Any danger to the wild population needs addressing, and support in this circumstance must go to selecting home bred fish or, if necessary, protecting the wild stocks by reducing import numbers. This protection has been fairly recently given to the Bangaii Cardinal.

I agree with you that because fish are living beings that people should be educated about their care requirements before purchasing and keeping them. Like you, I also advocate the purchase of captive-bred fish whenever possible. In addition, if the numbers of a particular fish species is declining, then collection of that species should be stopped, whether the public demand for them is high or not. Great article!
